No reverse button when using gamepad on PC

[Hello There]

As the title says, when using a gamepad (Xbox One Controller) on PC, reverse is not bound to anything. I see no way to manually rebind keys, so if anyone has a solution or workaround i'd love to hear it.

Reverse is the left trigger. Opposite of the drive button. Works for me just fine.

left trigger works fine for me.

I have this same issue with a PS4 controller. Someone uploaded a work around for the dpad issue, but this have been resolved. It seems the functionality of reversing in any vehicle is disabled on my controller. Reversing in cars is left trigger, but from what I can gather, descending in helicopters is supposed to be the same button as crouch, which for me is circle. Reverse and descend always appear for me with no key binding next to them on the screen.

Having the exact same issue but with XBOX 360 Controller. DPad is fine but reverse in vehicle and descend in chopper doesn't work with the LT Trigger. LT Trigger works though when on foot.... Any help to solve this issue would be appreciated.

I went into the Options while in game and reset the vehicle controls to default. As soon as I did this I could back up vehicles by pulling back on the stick. Then I made by Invert Aim adjustments and everything was fine.

I mapped the Dpad to the Keyboard Arrows in the Controller Configuration. However I have yet to find a good solution for the Descend button since the pull back stick has no effect on planes and helicopters as they do not use stick for acceleration but instead rely on A which is Ascend. The problem is that Descend, which should be the B button when in Planes and Helicopters is tied by programming to Crouch. You can map the B button to C on the keyboard in the Controller Configuration and that will give you Descend but you lose menu navigation Back ability and skip ability. So you have to back out of menus by hittting the same button that put you in the main menu or the in game menu.

Its wonky but it solves the problem. The other issue those ridiculous Bliss cutscenes you want to Skip. When that happens remapping the B button means you lose Skip ability. I go in to the other room where my PC is located (I'm streaming with a Shield TV) and skip them with the keyboard...except for the ones like meeting faith where they ram that stuff down your throat. Thanks for pulling me out of a good game moment Ubi with your ridiculous drug trips. What idiotic design.

^ @Hatchet thank you! I tried dancing around this issue by setting up "multi layer" complicated multi button setups through steam config but it never worked ideally, glad someone smarter than I was able to find a workaround.

Flight and driving are not same controls scheme. For Flight it's A and B for accend/descend accelerate/decelerate.

Except you do not realize that for numerous people there is no mapped button for descend. Tons of people are having this issue. You get into the helicopter and it shows your controls automatically on the left side of the screen. You will see the word Descend listed...but no corresponding button. This is happening to thousands of people. Pressing the B button does nothing because the system does not see it as mapped.

The Brake is reverse...Left trigger...Xbox 360 controller works fine for me..

Did you even bother to read what I was responding to you jackass or are you going to just continue to make yourself look, well, like a jackass? He doesn't mention anyhting about missing or unmapped buttons. He was using the TRIGGER to descend which is wrong for flight. I don't give a crap about it not working for your claimed 'numerous people'. Was speaking to him directly.

Right, I didn't mention the missing or unmapped buttons but that is exactly what is happening to me as well. The B Button does nothing in the air. The LT Trigger does nothing in the car. Both LT and B button however work on foot.

I switched to Keyboard and Mouse for now as it is unplayable for me with the Controller but it would be nice to play this game on the couch now and then.

He's a fix that worked for me, Xbox One controller, should work for PS4 controllers also.

Different methods of getting there but this is how i got there.

1. Open Big Picture mode
2. Go to Library
3. Click Far Cry 5
4. Click Manage Game
5. Click Controller Settings.
6. Turn Forced Steam Controller settings or something similar to that OFF.
7. Start up Far Cry 5.
8. Enjoy Far Cry 5 from your couch!

Have fun friend.

Thanks for that. I saw that fix on another thread and tried that but unfortunately for me that only fixes the D-Pad issue, not the above mentioned.

Set driving mode to "shooter" instead of standard. This will map accelerate and brake to the left stick up/down (and reverse will work that way). The triggers/bumpers will match what they are on foot.

This won't help if you are in an airplane or helicopter though.

If you are unable to make your controller work, go to Steam General controller settings and uncheck all the controllers. Close Steam and try launching the game from Uplay. This time, the controller should work.
